If you guys can help me come up wiht a cohesive list of complaints (I think it boils down to, quite simply, two things, personally ,but I'd love more input.... anyways those two things being basically 'green dps' and 'insufficiently customziable UI and controls') then I can have a friend translate it into japanese and post it in the japanese forum with links back to this one, but we've gotta be short, concise, and mostly in agreement before I ask for that. Trying ot be more concise and show a productive mindset rather than just complain I also came up with some tentative fixes for the problems I've tentatively identified:
1. Fix macros so we can just fix stuff ourselves. Alternatively or in addition to allow players to set 'target' modifiers so they can keep their current target but still cast on self (League and WoW I believe both have this feature) or focus or target of target by just holding a button while casting a normal spell.
2. Change encounter DPS patterns to be less predictable making healing more reactive so healing is more skill based and things like predictions are more valuable (separating the good scholars from the great scholars and giving whm more of a roll when compared to astro after prog as the best healer for when things go.... poorly....)
3. Redesign future encounters so that more raw throughput healing is required or else make healer non-healing more interesting (post-buff astro is a great start with the ability to play minigames between spell casts)
4. Allow us to choose to show more or less info on our GUI including more streamlined alternative looks so every healthbar, I want to see clean and fat (should be as big as the current thing is including number) with color coding for health percent and showing things like in need of dispell and HoT projects while showing, as I just said, health PERCENT which is the number I actually care about most of the time (and estimating it is tricky when you're trying to figure out if you want excogitation to blow or to adloquium and save it for a few more seconds instead).
Does that seem reasonable?
